Senior reporter Brent Walth leaves The Oregonian

The Oregonian's editor, Peter Bhatia, announced to the staff Thursday that senior reporter Brent Walth has resigned to
become managing editor of Willamette Week. Bhatia said:

Brent has served this newspaper and
our readers with amazing distinction over the past 16 years, as the Pulitzer Prize he
shared for the INS project reflects. But his work can be measured in uncountable
important ways, through mentorship of others, and a remarkable string of
investigative projects.
